Builders Warehouse Newmarket Mall Incompetence

Checked the website. 57 bags of anthracite in stock at the Newmarket Mall Branch. On arrival at the store I am informed there is no stock for sale due to the bags bursting after being stored in the sun for many months. On returning home I checked the website again to see still 57 bags in stock. An elementary error or sheer incompetence? Surely stock levels should be revised as soon as a product is sold or rendered unfit for sale. Sadly apologies don't pay for wasted time and travel costs. And this from a business whose holding company recently announced they want to develop eCommerce and compete with Takealot.

Can you also private message us your contact number so that we can get in touch? If there is anything else that I can help you with please do let me know.

Appreciate the quick response Kurt. I am not looking for freebies and was able to purchase anthracite at a competitor on my way home.
